ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WV050-6029b; FRL-7504-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
West Virginia; Regulation to Prevent and Control Particulate Matter Air 
Pollution From Manufacturing Processes and Associated Operations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of West Virginia for the purpose of 
establishing regulations for the prevention and control of particulate 
matter air pollution from manufacturing processes and associated 
operations. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A more detailed 
description of the State submittal and EPA's evaluation are included in 
a Technical Support Document (TSD) prepared in support of this 
rulemaking action. A copy of the TSD is available, upon request, from 
the EPA Regional Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 
document. If no adverse comments are received in response to this 
action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on 
this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by July 3, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Makeba Morris, 
Chief, Air Quality Planning and Information Branch, Mailcode 3AP21, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the documents relevant to 
this action are available for public inspection during normal business 
hours at the Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; 
West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air 
Quality, 7012 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, WV 25304-2943.
